Xingqiu’s 2024 birthday art is on my mind again, and how it (basically) confirmed that Xingqiu and her family own a cat, XINGQIU IS A CAT OWNER!!

(I haven’t seen anybody mention this fact anywhere, it might be because it feels more obvious to me from my perspective, but also I could just be missing them so who knows-)

Like besides very basic and obvious observations, to me in particular when she says: “𝐡𝐞𝐲, 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐲, 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐨 𝐧𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐲!” it feels like she’s very familiar with it, and its behaviour - LIKE THAT‘S HER BABY!!!!!

That quote is all we really have when it comes to little details about this cat, and its relations to the Feiyun family. All we know is that it seems to be very playful, and likes to get into “trouble” (sounds very similar to a certain someone…)

AND BECAUSE OF THAT, I can give this little baby some more depth!!

Okay so since this is just a cat, there’s not much I have to do when comes to adding additions :)

And so rn what I have with hcs is: (first off w/ very basic stuff)

She’s female, she’s a little lady :3

Her name is ‘Hupo’ (琥珀 - hǔpò, “Amber” in Chinese), which her full name would be; Feiyun Hupo. (tysm to @kinun for suggesting/helping w/ the name^^)

She’s very playful and loves to cause mischief, but only really in front of the family or so - in front of strangers or just anyone not super close to her, her behaviour becomes very closed off, and comes off kind of a bit rude.

She’s maybe 3-4 years old?

Has an adorable frilly custom collar, matching the same of the Feiyun family style (very similar to Xingqiu’s aesthetic specifically.)

Okay now for more detailed stuff:

She’s a little princess, and is absolutely spoiled by Xingqiu, Xingqiu adores her (same with Hupo to Xingqiu). And even tho technically Hupo is the family pet, she’s basically Xingqiu’s cat.

Hupo was a street-cat and Xingqiu found her when she was a kitten. Xingqiu’s doll item mentioning about animal shelters and adopting, definitely tells us Xingqiu cares a lot about adopting animals; (to me)

So I definitely think Hupo was either adopted from a shelter or was found on the streets. I’m kind of leaning towards that she found her on the streets, looking a little worse for wear compare to the other cats walking around.

She was just a tiny little kitten all by herself, and Xingqiu found her while she was out-and-about (maybe during one of the times she snuck out, and was trying to hide more from Xu looking for her or something idk)

Okay as for this part, I haven’t fully fleshed out a lot of details as of this current moment, but after Xingqiu found her, she took her to professionals to help her and her condition - Hupo was too scared to go near anyone, except Xingqiu. And then sometime after that, Xingqiu decides to take her home, and even though her family is extremely strict - she was allowed to keep her in their house only because Xingqiu’s mother (Valerie) used to have a cat when she was very young, back when she lived in Fontaine, and thought maybe Hupo would take a strong liking to her, she misses that cat a lot.

That idea very quickly backfired. Hupo doesn’t like Valerie AT ALL-

And that’s pretty much all of the ideas and hcs I have as of rn :3
